Highlight Tints: The Cyan slider adjusts color on that axis, increasing Cyan in the
highlights, with reduced effect in darker colors. Use this slider when you feel there is a
highlight-only color cast in all your images that is on the Cyan to Red axis.
The Magenta slider adjusts color similarly along that axis, while the Yellow slider work
on a third axis. Each of these three axes is 120 degrees apart on the color wheel. It is
possible to adjust two of these sliders at a time, for color casts at some angle between
two of the sliders.
Highlight Tint sliders work in only one direction. Reversing them would add color to
whites, resulting in a condition known as “scum-dot” where paper white is not
obtainable.
These sliders do not selectively adjust one color, they effect all colors in all images,
with emphasis on highlights. They are a quick and easy way to adjust highlight-zone
color casts, for cases where images consistently seem a bit green, a bit cool, or a bit
warm, for instance. It is very fast to adjust the sliders and build a new profile, so
making a series of adjustments, with descriptive names, and then testing these new
profiles, first in a print preview mode, then in actual test prints, is a simple process.
